I think the story is they are great for a scale rig which is what they were designed for but on a comp rig they will bend. Anything in a comp rig that doesn't have a little give ends up broken so running Delrin links with M4 and sort revos are the ticket

They get dirt in them then lock up then when ya try to flex them the break...Just use the Revo's and save your money...

I have never broke a Revo rod end. They are the one to use. don't run metal or Aluminum rodends. A little dirt or dust and they sieze

I suggest staying away from any metal rod ends. Revo or Jato rodends are extremely strong and smooth, and if you want even heavier duty you can use the Revo REAR pushrod ends that are even bigger yet... I use them on lower links and regular revo or jato ends on uppers. link to regular revo ends: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/3101 link to heavier revo ends: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHGC0&P=Z |
